First I don't normally sleep that much but all I got the day before was a 1hr nap and a 2hr nap after working my 12hr grave. Needless to say I was too tired to move, so no exercise. But today I did better! I tried to leave my husband with 5 kids (3 extras from the neighbors)to go and do my run. I knew he would let me if I was going for a run. I averaged just over 13min/mile not too bad for starting but had to take a break at 1 mile to stretch my shins, they were getting tight. Since I ran outside I had no sword fights and no toys being chucked under my feet on the treadmill(apparently that's really fun to watch as stuff comes flying off the back) Just ask my two year old. Plus I couldn't help but sing out loud to P!nk, u and ur hand. "I'm not hear for your entertainment, you don't really want to mess with me tonight!"

Good luck with your running - keep it up. Your goal is the Portland Marathon - Oregon?

Right now I got to be able to finish the ogden half marathon, and I want to throw in a couple of halves in during the year, but as for marathoning, I burned out last year from the grand slam, and the goofy challenge, so I am limiting it to Portland, I need to visit my sister and see her new house she is dying to show off!

Good luck with your running, and congrats to your 11 yr old, it's so much fun to watch them when they are young. I wish I had that but my kids like to run and my daughter did her first 5k at 3.5 yrs old!
